Instructions

  Twist your existing shower head to the left to loosen it. Continue to turn the shower head until it comes free of the pipe. Spray the pipe and the shower head liberally with a spray lubricant if the assembly does not turn. Holding a wrench on the pipe while turning the assembly can help as well. Hold the pipe firmly while you unscrew the shower head, and apply lubricant as needed until it comes off smoothly. It can take some time to remove a stuck shower head.
